Amadeus was...meh...

I didn't really care too much for Amadeus. Having Mozart's character be as immature and stupid as he was made the play feel a little less attention-grabbing. I think it took me a couple sessions to get through the play because I just was losing focus and couldn't care less about any of the characters. I guess that's not completely true. I liked Salieri. He reminds me of the dad in that new movie, Taken(which I suggest everyone see) when he "sabotaged" Mozart from the inside; kind of like a double agent. I'll post the scene I mentioned from the movie below.
I also kind of thought the Venticelli's weren't that useful. I would think the movie could identify the "rumor" element just as well without them. I didn't like the story, most of the characters, and I didn't have much better to say about the movie. To me, it seemed like it wasn't worth reading.
